<div>Joe wrote in response to Paul:<br><br>This is a VERY interesting comment! One might ask, What on earth would it take you to<br>believe the above claims if a meeting with the Almighty wouldn't do it?<br><br>And herein lies the issue. What would it take you to believe in the existence of God? What would count as evidence, for you, that God exists?

<h3>What kind of evidence could convince you that God exists?</h3>
<p>I think that if I heard a voice from the sky predicting all that was going to happen to me during the next twenty-four hours, including events that would have seemed highly improbable, and if all these events then produced to happen, I might perhaps be convinced at least of the existence of some superhuman intelligence. I can imagine other evidence of the same sort which might convince me, but so far as I know, no such evidence exists.
